Foreclosure Defense

Delivering Real Debt Solutions with Significant Savings

Learn How a Foreclosure Attorney Can Help

If you are not in foreclosure but have begun receiving notices of an imminent foreclosure filing or had a prior foreclosure that was dismissed, our law firm may be able to obtain a reduced payoff for your current mortgage through a refinance with our loan evaluator. If you have been in default for several years, there is a good chance your loan was purchased by an investment group for pennies on the dollar. That means your new mortgage holder may be willing to accept a payment that is much less than what is “legally” owed on the mortgage in order to release the lien. If you and your property meet a list of specific requirements, and you qualify, we may be able to find a loan for you that would pay off the prior mortgage at a reduced and negotiated price. This type of “short pay” negotiation could potentially shave off tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars from your current mortgage debt. Call us today and find out if our pre-foreclosure debt reduction service is an option for you by dialing (954) 453-7200 today to arrange a free consultation.

Served with a Foreclosure Complaint?

Protect Your Home with the Help of a Skilled Foreclosure Defense Attorney

To begin the foreclosure process, lenders must go through the courts in Florida. This is called a judicial foreclosure. In a judicial foreclosure, the lender files a lawsuit with the court. Homeowners facing foreclosure are served with a foreclosure complaint that they then have 20 days to respond to in writing. When you respond to the complaint and present your defense or defenses, litigation of the lawsuit begins. If you don’t respond to the complaint at all or you don’t do it within the 20-day deadline, your home will most likely be taken from you and sold. If you have received a foreclosure complaint don’t delay in responding if your goal is to keep your home. And before you respond, it’s highly recommended that you get legal assistance to help you through this complex process.

Foreclosure litigation can resemble a game of chess. One of the similarities is that your “opening” in chess — i.e., the first set of moves you make — typically determines your “end game” or how and if you win the game. In litigation it’s no different. In the context of a foreclosure case, the first steps you take are extremely important, including how you respond to the complaint to defend yourself.

Carlos M. Amor is an experienced foreclosure defense attorney who will review your case to determine an appropriate defense. He will then prepare a response to increase your chances of a satisfactory outcome and file the paperwork for you.

Lenders Can and Do Make Mistakes

We’ll Present a Strong Line of Defense to Keep Your Home

There are various defenses that can be raised in foreclosure cases. The lender might have made a mistake in servicing your loan, or they might not have followed proper legal procedures before filing a foreclosure suit.

However, if they aren’t called out on those mistakes in a timely manner, in writing and through methods afforded by Florida law, you will not be able to mount a substantive defense or counterclaim. There are a variety of mistakes lenders can and do make. Here are a few examples:

• Failing to provide written notice of your default
• Mistakenly increasing escrow payments or insurance premiums
• Not paying property taxes in a timely manner
• Failing to provide you with loss mitigation options
• Unfairly denying your loan modification request

If you suspect a mistake, the best course of action is to send a formal Notice of Error right away. The lender must respond to you within a specific time frame. You can also request records associated with your account through a written Request for Information. Again, there are specific time frames in which you can expect a response. They vary based on the type of error or information request. Notices and requests should be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested so the lender can’t say they didn’t receive it.

Contact our law office for help right now to get started on that process before you file your first response to the complaint. Additionally, if you have been in foreclosure for many years or if your lender is just resurfacing years after you “won” your previous foreclosure case, there is still time to mount a proper defense. Attorney Carlos M. Amor can help you develop an effective strategy.

Don’t Give Up When Faced with Losing Your Home

A Foreclosure Attorney Will Help Mitigate Your Losses

Moving out of your home during a foreclosure will not make your debt disappear. Your mortgage company or lender can still bring a suit against you to collect your unpaid mortgage in an action for deficiency judgment. This alone will ruin your credit, making it extremely difficult to purchase or even rent another home.

Our law firm is committed to helping you find the perfect solution during your foreclosure. While we do not recommend abandoning your property, our team will still develop a strategy to mitigate any losses. This will prevent lawsuits and reduce the long-term impact on your credit score. Don’t go it alone when you are facing foreclosure. We will help find the best solutions for your situation.
